There is an urgent need to retrofit deficient mid-rise reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings in Turkey. For this purpose, an efficient FRP retrofit scheme has been developed previously, in which hollow clay brick infill walls can be utilized as lateral load resisting elements after retrofitting. The main premise of this practical retrofit scheme was to limit inter-storey deformations by FRP strengthened infill walls that are integrated to the boundary frame members by means of FRP anchors. Based on the analytical model that was previously verified extensively by comparison with test results, a simplified model was proposed for use in displacement based design of FRPs for deficient RC frame buildings. FRP retrofit design and analysis of an actual deficient RC building located in Istanbul are presented herein both for the local design spectrum and Duzce ground motion. It was observed that the FRP retrofit reduced the damage induced to deficient columns by controlling story deformations. In this way, it was possible to satisfy the collapse prevention performance state in an efficient and economical manner.

Numerical Study on CFRP Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Frames with Masonry Infill Walls Akin, Emre; Ozcebe, Guney; Canbay, Erdem; Binici, Barış (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2014-04-01) In the last decade, a new strengthening methodology has been developed for reinforced concrete (RC) frames with hollow clay tile (HCT) infill walls by means of diagonally applied carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) fabrics. In the experimental part of a study conducted by the authors, this user-friendly methodology was experimentally investigated considering different aspect (height/width) ratios of the infill walls. In this study, first a numerical model of the FRP strengthened infill walls strengthened...
Performance-based seismic rehabilitation of damaged reinforced concrete buildings Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Gunay, MS (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2004-10-01) A building stock consisting of 130 medium-rise reinforced concrete buildings were damaged moderately during the recent earthquakes in Turkey. These buildings were rehabilitated by using simple, cost-effective methods where the newly added shear walls comprised the primary lateral load resisting system. In the presented study, different seismic performance evaluation procedures are tested first on the samples of damaged buildings for predicting their observed performances. Then the expected performances of t...
Evaluation of the Predictive Models for Stiffness, Strength, and Deformation Capacity of RC Frames with Masonry Infill Walls Turgay, Tahsin; Durmus, Meril Cigdem; Binici, Barış; Ozcebe, Guney (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2014-10-01) Buildings with masonry infill walls (MIWs) in reinforced concrete (RC) frames are commonly used all around the world. It is well known that infill walls may affect the strength, stiffness, and displacement ductility of the structural system. Different approaches have been adopted in different codes and guidelines to consider the stiffness and strength contribution of MIWs on RC frame behavior. This study compares the ability of the existing guidelines to estimate stiffness, strength, and deformability of RC...
Application of Mesh Reinforced Mortar for Performance Enhancement of Hollow Clay Tile Infill Walls Ezzatfar, Pourang; Binici, Barış; Kurç, Özgür; Canbay, Erdem; Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Özcebe, Güney (2014-01-01) The use of mesh reinforcement with mortar on existing brick infill walls of reinforced concrete (RC) frames is a recommended seismic strengthening procedure in the Turkish Seismic Code (2007). The premise of the method lies in its ease of application and success in eliminating the out-of-plane failure of existing infill walls. The performance of the mesh reinforced mortar (MRM) application was investigated by pseudo-dynamic (PsD) and cyclic testing. A three-story-three-bay 1:2 scale RC frame with hollow cla...
Evaluation of performance based displacement limits for reinforced concrete columns under flexure Solmaz, Taylan; Yakut, Ahmet; Department of Civil Engineering (2010) Reinforced concrete frame buildings are the most common type of constructions in Turkey which are exposed to various types of forces during their lifetime. Seismic performance of reinforced concrete frame buildings is dominated by columns which can be classified as primary members of these structures. When current codes are considered, all of them contain several provisions in order to implement reliable seismic performances of reinforced concrete columns. In order to evaluate the accuracy of these provisio...
